Remember that specifications are not meant to be tutorials. This comes up a lot in standards development (I also contribute to OASIS and ISO standards). A specification must objectively describe functionality. Tutorial content should be considered non-normative (also called "informative"). And some believe that non-normative content has no place in a specification.

Which makes fertile ground for books, tutorials, training classes, etc. which is good for the industry around the specification.
